UPDATE: Experienced delays and a lot of unsuccessful loading attempts with correct urls. Stopping for the time being. I will give it a try again later. 22:13 10/31/2006
I decided to give the OpenDNS, a free -and claimed to be fast- DNS service a try. It has been 5 minutes or so and so far so good
What OpenDNS says:
OpenDNS can identify and stop sites trying to phish (steal) your personal information or money. The OpenDNS phishing protection works with all operating systems and browsers, and complements any other security measures already in use, such as a firewall and anti-virus software.
Two things make DNS really fast: a big cache and a good network. We have both.
We built our network of OpenDNS caches at the major intersections of the Internet. This keeps us close to you, improving performance.
When you are typing fast and type yahoo.cmo instead of yahoo.com you still get there. No annoying pop-ups or evil spyware installed because you made a typo. Things just work.
OpenDNS service is free and there is no software to install. OpenDNS makes money by serving clearly labeled advertisements on search results pages where we cannot resolve your intent (i.e., not a known typo).
I will post if anything goes wrong with it.
